DRAMATIC NOTES.

The G. P. A.-The Genial Passenger Agents
turned out in full force at the Grand last
evening to witness the performance of 1.-THE
DEVILS Auction" The majority of them
were accompanied by their wives. Railroad
men are always fond of hilarity, and they en-
joyed the mirth- provoking play to the fullest
capacity.
MARTANETTI was rather set back when his
humorous attempt to make telephone of
Pagan god was interrupted by the startling
war cry of the Elks. The G. P. AIS are-all-
right-you-bet.
1t is wonder how many railroad people

they do il! just like any other players,
with the exception that they used ball

Through this baseball there was hole.
and in the hole there was little concern
like that which you see in harmonica.
On the home plate was little bell,
which the umpire rang BY pulling a
string just before the pitcher fred
ball. Judging on the position Of the base
by the sound o. II, bell, the pitcher put
the ball right where it ought to be.
"As the ball sailed toward the batsman
the air rushing through the hole in it
played little tune. and it was by this
sound that the batsmsn made his strike.
1t was the came with the fielders.
Wherever the ball went it was singing
ita little tune, and this sound was all the
payer had to judge by. Handle the ball:
Well, I should say, they could. They
played fine game, and ! tell you that
the music of the ball whizzing and soar
ing about the field, and those blind fel-
lows catching and throwing it just as if
they could see. made a scene never to be
forgotten. The members Of these blind
nines were all inmates Of Dakota Blind

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.

NJ. Leon Esquille has perfected mar
velous invention in electricity and pho
tography. BY speaking into telephone
transmitter, which consists of highly
polished diaphragm, rejecting ray of
light, this ray of light is set into vi.
bration. and photograph is made Of it
on travelling band OF sensitized paper.
Ii the image Of this Photographic tracing
be projected by means of an electric are
or oxyhydrogen light upon a selenum
receiver, the original speech is then
heard. 1t is evident that there is no
limit to the development Of this peculiar
combination Of methods. H ~
DR.. Davenport, the analyst of the
Massachusetts State Board Of Health,
makes some returns that will be OF in
terest to all. Out Of twenty advertised
cures for the opium habit, all but one
contained opium. A marvellous cure
''dorble fchloride Of gold" A large
number of Temperance drinks" were
also examined. All contained alcohol
and one as high as A 8 per cent. The
majority contained over 20 per cent.
A preparation analysed 4l6 per cent
was claimed by manufacturer ito be

An English gardener states that the
roots Of trees may be prevented from en-
tering between the joints of drain tiles
by using coal tar. 10 using it mix it
with sawdust to the consistency of or
binary building mortar. A layer Of this
should be spread on the bottom Of the
drain; on this set the drain-pipes and
then cover all over with tar mortar.
If the work be carefully performed and
the mortar applied in sufficient quantity
say an inch and half thick all round
success may be guaranteed.
DR.. Chapman says in the Medical and
Surgical Reporter. that nine-tenths of
the wild animals in confinement are SUBJ
ject to heart disease, bnt the most com.
mon and fatal is rheumatism. Monkeys
and balloons generally die from bronchial
affections and heart disease; felines, such
as lions, tigers, leopards, ETC., from disen-
terry and heart disease; deer, antelopes,
ETC., suffer most from disentery and
heart disease; while the canine tribe,
such as wolves dingoes, foxes, etc, bear
confinement very little.
NJ. Frenzy has read paper at the

say perfect rubies-def.ing the closest
